Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of isoflurane or sevoflurane inhalation before and after gestation on the offspring brain development. Methods Thirty female adult Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 5 groups(n=6 each):control group(group C),group that ex?posed to isoflurane with the concentration of 1.6%for 6 hours before gestation(group BI),group that exposed to isoflurane with the concentration of 1.6%at the 6th,10th,14th and 18th day for 6 hours(group PI),group that exposed to sevoflurane with the concentration of 2.4%for 6 hours before gestation(group BS),and group exposed to sevoflurane with the concentration of 2.4%at the 6th,10th,14th and 18th day for 6 hours after gestation (group PS). Twelve offspring rats from pregnant rats in each group were chosen on the day of birth(T1),and 7th,14th and 28th days after birth(T2, T3 and T4)and sacrificed,and the hippocampi were then isolated. Hematoxylin and eosin stain were adopted to observe the tissue pathological change. Electron microscope was used to observe the neuron ultrastructure change of hippocampus. Immolunohistochemistry was used to detect cas?pase?3,the expression of growth associated protein?43(GAP?43)and neuronal nitric oxide synthase(nNOS). Results Compared with group C, no significant change was found in caspase?3,GAP?43 and nNOS expression in offspring rat hippocampus in groups BI and BS(P>0.05),and no damage change in hippocampal was seen by HE staining and electron microscopy. In group PI and PB,the expression of caspase?3 was significantly up?regulated,the expression of GAP?43 and nNOS was down?regulated at T1 to T3(P<0.01),and structural changes in cell were seen by electron microscopy. In group PI,significant pathological changes in hippocampal were seen by HE staining at T1 to T3. Compared with group PI,the expres?sion of GAP?43 and nNOS was significantly up?regulated(P<0.01),and the expression of caspase?3 was down?regulated at T1 to T3(P<0.01). Conclusion Isoflurane or sevoflurane inhalation before gestation does not affect the offspring brain development,while isoflurane or sevoflurane in?halation after gestation can induce transient abnormal change of offspring brain development,and isoflurane′s toxicity was greater than sevoflurane.
